Village Voice, Review: Fado Curvo >>

Mariza Nunes is the latest in a series of young singers who have revived Portugal's melancholy fado heritage.  Her 2001 debut album, Fado em Mim, prompted comparisons to the late Amalia Rodrigues, fado's greatest star.  Mariza's marcelled hair, see-through outfits, slinky stage moves, and jazz-tinged vocals defy tradition, and there's only one Amalia cover on her new album, Fado Curvo, but even purists approve.  05/07/03
